background and aims. predicting the teeth eruption time is a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry since it can affects scheduling dental and orthodontic treatments. this study investigated the relationship between the eruption time of first primary and permanent teeth and the variation in the eruption time considering socioeconomic status (ses) in a 9-year population- based cohort study. materi...

Traumatic tooth injuries are common in children. When permanent teeth are involved, it can be a challenge to save these teeth. This clinical case study describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a complex crown fracture and luxation of a right maxillary incisor along with esthetic management. After periodontal surgery including guided bone regeneration and endodontic treatment, we used a glas...

although the delayed exfoliation of primary teeth among children is a common dental problem, simultaneous presence of primary teeth and corresponding successors is a rare feature in adults. this paper reports an unusual case in which both permanent teeth (molars, premolars, and canines) and primary teeth were present simultaneously. this report describes questions concerning the etiology of ove...

The periodontium is the supporting tissues for the tooth organ and is vulnerable to destruction, arising from overpopulating pathogenic bacteria and spirochaetes. The presence of microbes together with host responses can destroy large parts of the periodontium sometimes leading tooth loss. Permanent tissue replacements are made possible with tissue engineering techniques. However, existing peri...

Interdental papillae regeneration remains a challenge in implant dentistry in cases in which papillae are lost following tooth extraction. This report presents an implant case with missing 1st and 2nd premolars and total papillary loss. We performed immediate provisionalization to the first premolar implant with a temporary abutment and crown, whereas the second premolar was submerged. Crown co...

autogenous tooth transplantation (att) can be considered when there is a hopeless molar tooth and suitable donor present. this report presents an unconventional case of successful att of a third molar replacing the adjacent fractured second molar in a 33 year old woman. this wisdom tooth had completely developed roots. root-end filling with calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement was performed in...

Here, we report the complete resolution of a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) in the right mandible after marsupialization in an 8-year-old girl with a mixed dentition. Clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings showed a simple cystic variant of CCOT in the region of the deciduous second molar, with dislocation of the permanent second premolar tooth germ. Initial treatment...

Maxillary canine premolar transposition is the most frequently reported transposition type, which many orthodontists face. Although correcting the transposed tooth order is not advised after the eruption of the permanent tooth, several articles published in the last decade demonstrated nonextraction treatment of transposition using fixed mechanics. This article describes the nonextraction treat...

Vitamin D is an essential hormone for calcium gut absorption. It is also involved in child growth, cancer prevention, immune system responses, and tooth formation. Due to inadequate vitamin D intake and/or decreased sunlight exposure, vitamin D deficiency has resurfaced in developed countries despite known inexpensive and effective preventive methods. Vitamin D deficiency is a common cause of r...

AIM To present a case report in which the pulp of two bilateral mandibular premolars with dens evaginatus were revascularized using a modified novel technique to avoid undesired crown discolouration. SUMMARY Recently, regeneration of necrotic pulps has become an alternative conservative treatment option for young permanent teeth with immature roots and is a subject of great interest in the fi...
